Spectators: 7201 (Terracing: 5402, Seating: 1656, VIP seats: 143) MELOS FC's Cayetano Marko started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. If Isidro Naelio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cayetano Marko in the 8th minute of play forced AC RUDA MACHO's goalkeeper Gaudencio Mitxel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 12th minute the ball was on its way in behind MELOS FC's goalkeeper Casimiro Corderall, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Casimiro Corderall showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jonathan Estebano, who was totally free with the ball in the 13th minute. 15 minutes into the match, MELOS FC's goal looked a bit too open when Jonathan Estebano came free, but Casimiro Corderall reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A nice corner shot did that Amado Naelio got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Casimiro Corderall quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Casimiro Corderall took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jonathan Estebano, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 25th minute, Hector Quinto left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The AC RUDA MACHO fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. 30 minutes into the match, Jonathan Estebano had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Casimiro Corderall. MELOS FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Jonathan Estebano was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. Cayetano Marko sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jonatan Gonzalez hit a great freekick 44 minutes into the match. AC RUDA MACHO's Gaudencio Mitxel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cayetano Marko in the 47th minute of play. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Hector Quinto to make the kick off. Horacio Koldobika struck a weak shot in the 51st minute. Gaudencio Mitxel didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for MELOS FC. If Isidro Naelio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 66th minute, AC RUDA MACHO's Amado Naelio seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Amado Naelio the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of AC RUDA MACHO protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Amado Naelio had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 66 minutes into the game, one of AC RUDA MACHO:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Gerardo Katia shot the penalty kick right outside the post. Augusto Rexino charged in rather forcefully in the 72nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Augusto Rexino the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, AC RUDA MACHO's Augusto Rexino got a free kick in the 72nd minute. In the 76th minute Cayetano Marko shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gaudencio Mitxel saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of AC RUDA MACHO booed when MELOS FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 84 match minutes in a wonderful position. Horacio Koldobika didn't get a good kick on the ball. Isidro Naelio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. AC RUDA MACHO's Gaudencio Mitxel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Isidro Naelio in the 91st minute of play. Isidro Naelio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 97th minute. Gaudencio Mitxel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
